"disciplined, sharp-as-a-knife, cutting poetic prose... It is a dark tale, full of anxiety and unanswered questions (...). This is a book that stays with you for a long time after reading, ” -Nike Award jury member, Tomasz Fiałkowski
“Every so often a writer comes along who shows us what literature can and perhaps is meant to do — offering not so much a different perspective as a different way of seeing. A writer whose work inhabits a space undetermined by convention, trends, topics of current interest, unafraid to put aside the noise of daily life and explore the unnoticed –– unseen because ignored –– life that is nevertheless fully within our grasp. A writer who captures the human by engaging the beings that share the world with us and bringing forth their voice. Bronka Nowicka is a mystic writer, poet, and filmmaker who converses with objects so that we can hear and understand what they are telling us. Hers is a world of myth –– our own –– in deep conversation with science and with our time.”
––JP Apruzzese, LIT Magazine
